Besan Toast

The recipe is super simple to make and can be made in under 10 minutes. Yet some mandatory and critical tips for Bread Besan Toast are –

  1. Batter Consistency – The besan batter has to be semi-thick and at the same time has to be lump-free with a smooth consistency. This helps the batter to spread evenly across the bread without any patches especially when transferring to tawa.
  2. Bread Type – The best type of bread for this recipe is white square-shaped toast pieces of bread. You can also use sandwich bread, but can be difficult to handle it while frying. Avoid using brown or multi-grain as it may not taste well.
  3. Texture – The best experience of any toast is when it is crisp and smooth in texture. Frying in low flame helps to achieve this texture. Also, you may add corn flour to have the extra crispiness.
  4. Serving – It is best served when it is warm and crisp in texture. Once it is rested it may turn soggy and may not have the best experience consuming it. Also, serve it with green chutney or tomato sauce condiments.
  5. Variations – Adding fine chopped vegetables with besan batter can make it more flavorsome. Adding veggies can be tricky and hence use finely chopped basic vegetables.
